Login :
(Or "log in", "log on", "logon") To start a session
with a system, usually by giving a user name and password
as a means of user authentication. The term is also used to
mean the ability to access a service (also called an account),
e.g. "Have you been given a login yet?"
"Log in/on" is occasionally misused to refer to starting a
session where no authorisation is involved, or to access where
there is no session involved. E.g. "Log on to our Web
site!"
"login" is also the Unix program which reads and verifies a
user's user name and password and starts an interactive
session.
